May/June 2007
Noir, located in the heart of Historic Castleberry Hill Art and Loft District, is designed to resemble an original Old Hollywood lounge. Emphasizing on social drinking, conversational coffee, and American contemporary cuisine with French influences, Noir seeks to establish itself as Atlanta ‘s premier lounge offering coffee, spirits, small plates for sharing, and entertainment.
The space was designed by Jason Wertz, owner or Wertz Contemporary. Black, the anchor color, was used to create a seductive and dramatic environment with an intimate feel. The black theme is carried from plush black velvet banquette seating onto the floor with wall-to-wall carpeting. A glowing black matrix stone bar is the anchor of Noir.
The wine and champagne list is 30 percent French, while the cocktail menu features drinks mixed with fresh seasonal fruits and juices, top shelf liquors, a wide selection of unique beers, or Frances most recognized coffee, Café Richard.
Noir will serve American contemporary cuisine with French inspired influences to create such small plates as lamb and rosemary meatloaf, cheese plate with blackberry coulis and candied pecans, or scallop ceviche with jicama and cabbage salad.
The lounge accommodates 100 guests and the bar 50. There are an additional 25 seats on the patio. Noir is located at 264 Peters Street in Atlanta and will be open Tuesday – Saturday at 5 p.m. For details call 404-223-2999 or visit www.noiratlanta.com.
